Wales & West Utilities has finished work to upgrade over 2,000 metres of gas pipes in the Carterton and Bampton areas of Oxfordshire.
Now that it’s complete, the work will help ensure a safe and reliable supply for customers and strengthen the energy infrastructure in the region for decades to come.
Work has involved replacing the pipes in the Pampas Close and Oakfield Road area of Carterton and the Aston Road area of Bampton. Engineers will return to the Aston Road area of Bampton next summer.
Wales & West Utilities’ Mick Gallavin managed the programme and said:
“We’d like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we completed this essential work, and are delighted to have finished the work on time.
“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner, or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
“This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport green gases in the future.”
Wales & West Utilities is the gas emergency and pipeline service, delivering energy to over 7.5 million people across Wales and the south west of England. We don’t sell gas; we transport it through an extensive underground network of more than 35,000 kilometres of pipes.
